2.0 out of 5 stars Fun to play with but broke WAY too soon, October 29, 2004

This review is from: Talking Cash Register (Toy)

My 3 year old and her friends and cousins of various ages loved the cash register. (especially the scanning and microphone features) HOWEVER, within a month it had broken. None of the electronic features worked. The toy had only received moderate use in pretty gentle conditions so it must have been very fragile.

We received the item as a gift. Perhaps we received a lemon and if I didn't have a newborn and a job keeping me to busy to follow up, Amazon would have exchanged it. But I didn't have any time to spare. I also couldn't find a website or phone number for Summit to follow up with them. Its really a shame because now that my daughter is 4, I think the toy would be a fun way for her to start learning basic principals of addition and subtraction without even realizing it.

Incidentally, a 2 1/2 year old was over recently and within minutes snapped the microphone off (which didn't matter I guess since it wasn't working for us) so keep this toy away from the younger kids.

Maybe it is worth buying IF you know you can return it if it breaks within the first few months and IF you have time to deal with the hassle of trying to exchange it. If somebody could guaranty me that it would be durable and last a couple years, I'd recommend it in a heartbeat since it is an enjoyable toy.

my 3 year old daughter received this as a christmas gift. it has been great fun for her to play with until recently. the product has held up really well for the amount of time we have had it except for the microphone. the microphone is so flimsy that the more it was played with the more it broke until finally it has completely seperated from the cash register.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this toy!, September 6, 2004

I love this toy! Oh yeah, the girls like it too.

First, the microphone is a lot of fun. We're always asking for "clean-up on aisle 5," or some such excuse to play with the mic. And the 18 mo. old likes to put her whole mouth on it and grunt.

Second, we like the scanner. I slapped the imitation UPC stickers on every small item we could find in the toy chest, from doll "baby powder" to a fake pork chop. Then we scan them on the register (my 4 year old niece's favorite part) and bag the items.

And the 4 year old likes the calculator too. It gave her mommy and me a rest from lending her our calculators all the time.

One problem: we're always losing the money, and not all fake money fits in the register. We're also always losing the "credit card" that goes to the set. Perhaps the manufacturer can include more than one card with the next version?
